Note: The amount of sugar and water needed in this recipe can vary, depending on the berries. Before you start, taste the berries for juicy sweetness. Adjust sugar and water accordingly. Also, it is important to pour the water over the top and shake the pan. You want the berries and water to really settle into the pan!► Read a book that you liked but that others didn’t (it got bad reviews) – or – read a book with some sort of “cover” on the cover (such as a pot cover or a blanket–use your imagination).
